@saxondog paintball gun is defo' more fun! and look very simple to do' but i dont want paint splats all over the garden...the Mrs will have my A**S

@KV1s there is a little tray the BB's sit in between the start of the barrel and the hole the air pops out...when i stripped it down this tray simpley split in half due to impact after a few shot....very poor quality ...i have got another unit i got from my abram project that ''seems to work'' so i am doing a transplant as we speek ...whats this ''ture air hop up'' you speek off...i am intrigued

Hi Silver

If you have the book that came with your tank it tells you there is a hop-up for the main gun...thats all i can tell you at the moment..

A few years ago a frined of mine had mini paint pellets for his BB gun,wonder if you can still get them lol

Hi,

I hate to put a sour note into an interesting thread, but if you have insurance for your modelling activities, then it could be invalid if your model fires any sort of solid projectile. This might even include the Heng Long airsofts that have a range of 2cms on a good day.

I would assume this would only apply at a display or is in a public place, so be careful! Even pyros can throw bits of cr*p quite a distance (and not always in the direction you expect - Dandare knows about exploding barrels, don't you Robert??)

I seem to remember there was a design around on the net years ago for a gun for a model based on the design of an old starting pistol. It used .22 blanks preloaded together with an airgun pellet into short bit of tube. These "cartridges" were then loaded about 7 at a time into holes in some ally bar which served as a mag. The whole mag slid one hole at a time with each shot. Interesting, but lethal and very naughty! Don't even think about it!
Personally I love anything that goes bang, whoosh or boom

I'm not too sure how you would stand on that 1

I personally wouldn't use my BB in a public place just in case,hence they have an on-off switch (i will admit to pushing the stick up to alter the barrel height)...
